This print was 1 meter x 1/2 meter and printing the lino on the presses available (Glasgow Print workshop) wasn't gonna happen easily so I used that technique and screened it. http://www.lawrencefinn.com/home/lfdcwp/wp-content/gallery/Linocut/towers/towerofSong.jpg

Thanks for your question and comment. Like you, I am a fledgling bookmaker. 'The Enchanted Hair Ornaments' is a unique state book, really an experiment. The text and images were printed on an ink jet printer. The original work comprises a series of small acrylic paintings on canvas on which the text was hand written. I have already cut (but not yet printed) a series of lino blocks intended for an artist's book based on the same story.

You do need to have a dark room of some sort. I have a solid roller blind on my laundry window so can block out most of the light. It is not as critical as other photographic techniques since the exposure time is quite long.

I saw some seagull fledglings today on a high roof opposite the print workshop that I go to in Dunfermline, Scotland. They were pretty big and yet still their parents were bringing them food. It was also pretty scary for them to jump off of and just start flying!! Incredibly noisy so and sohs but it was nice sitting outside eating my sandwich - it almost felt like I was on holiday - oh the sun was out too !!

Have you ever been to the UK ? bye for now

best wishes
